I just love everything about this picture! The landscape and family were equally stunning. I think deep, rich colors contrast so well with our desert environment. This is a great example on how to coordinate outfits and carry the same color palate to each member of your group! Alma Kasamis

Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity; and the mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as foundations of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life. John Muir said this over 100 years ago and when our lives were shut down last year this quote couldn’t have become more true for many people. We were given dominion over this earth and we must always remember to practice good stewardship! Happy Earth Day!

Happy Friday! What does everyone have planned for the weekend? I’m so excited to meet a few new clients this weekend AND I get to shoot in two of my favorite locations! The first session I had with this family, little man was still in mama’s belly. Thank you Jillian for another year with your family!

I was super excited when one of my Seniors wanted to bring his dirt bike to his session. Then I got REALLY excited when the clouds and sunset decided to show off! Thank you Mary for bringing it out!

What a difference a year can make! Our children grow and change so quickly. I didn't quite understand that until I had my own so now more than ever I'm a firm believer in not putting off family photos. Those little hands and little faces don't stay little for very long!

Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas time. - Laura Ingalls Wilder

Merry Christmas Week! I usually try and fit in taking a few Christmasy photos of my little guy and I played around with a few new things this year! He was a good sport and put up with me, mostly...
